Hi Pioneer Tim,

Well the weasel did catch a mouse in front of the kids and they were amazed that he just seemed to know where to dig in that snow. So maybe having them around wouldn't be too bad. We have a dog, but I'm not so sure he is such a big weasel hunter. He wasn't too impressed with the deep snow, and would only go on the paths that the kids made. He did chase the coyotes away though and has been vigilant against them.

We haven't got our chickens yet, hopefully by the spring, whenever that happens up here. Are your chickens free range? I am debating with free range or penned. I know you can do the portable pen thing, so I am not too sure yet. With the wild life of coyotes, fox and the weasel, and of course the unknown factor of the dog and puppy, I'm thinking maybe penning would be better. That and the big owl we've seen. You kept the chickens from the show didn't you? What kind where they, besides mainly roosters?

We don't have a log home, yet, we figure in about 15 years when we retire, we'll try that. That gives us plenty of time to plan everything out. We are going to build the log bus shack as a starter and then go from there. You are extremely busy, wow. But I bet you guys are totally enjoying it. Yep I know Riverton, nice place. There is a great bakery in Arborg, just sort of a jaunt over to the west abit from Gimli. Hope all the weather is great for you.
